Ooh, good call (and writeup). I'm not sure how it didn't make my list. Oh well, we all make mistakes.

Agreed! I'd be totally okay with Thief running the rest of these countdowns from now on (hint, hint). :p
Here is my ballot. I bolded the ones that didn't make the cut.

I love Adaptation, which is #18 on my list. As good as Cage, Streep, Cooper, etc. are in it, my favorite performance may be Brian Cox's as script doctor Robert McKee. Here's a highlight from his...

Yi Yi is my #1. Its theme of our inability to see everything that's happening around us and what the movie does with it is unlike anything I had seen before. It resonated with me deeply and may have...

The Wrestler is pretty high on my list at 9. I heard a criticism that Aronofsky held his sensibilities back too much and that it's a regression for him overall, but there's something exciting about...

I added more to my post after you replied. In short, I guess what really bothers me is that the movie expects the audience to laugh at the tourists for being overweight as well. I'm also not against...

Hard disagree. I believe there is enough comedy to mine and enough to develop Ray's personality from the tourists being ugly Americans. Adding body shaming to the mix is unnecessarily mean as well as...

Catch Me If You Can just missed my list, but I'm still glad it got in. I think A.I. may be his best work of that decade, but Catch is his most fun one.
I'd encourage anyone who liked it to seek...
